2014 • GHACOF36: Building Resilience through the reduction of risks associated with disasters, climate variability and change for sustainable development in the Greater Horn of Africa (GHA)
[en] This analysis shows that the current rainfall deficit is exceptional and historically unique. The
significant population migration induced by the drought to Djibouti city must be supervised,
especially during their spontaneous settling.
This presented example confirms that current rainfall shortages and increasing temperature
extremes are impactinglocal people who urgently need adaptation and DRR strategies. It is necessary to reduce exposure to hydrological risks of these affected populations, in order that victims of the drought are not carried away by a rainfall excess.
